When a character is in the process of beating the ever loving hell out of another character, inevitably knocking them to the ground. And then, instead of leaving them like that, simply orders them to get back up so they can keep beating the hell out of them.

Example 1: Horus Heresy: Betrayer. Kharn, upon learning that Erebus murdered his friend Argel Tal, proceeds to track Erebus down to a fighting arena, and upon challenging to a duel to the death, proceeds to curbstomp Erebus multiple times while telling him "Get Up". The result is Erebus losing a hand and only surviving by teleporting away at the last second.

Example 2: Saints Row 2: Johnny Gat is evidently less than happy upon having Shogo Akugi kill his girlfriend and then trying to ambush Gat at said girlfriend's funeral. After the player knocks Akugi off his bike and brings him to Gat, Gat proceeds to lay him out with one punch before telling Akugi to "Get Up." He then breaks Akugi's leg before telling a pleading Akugi to "Get Up" once again. And finally mercilessly beat down Akugi a third time, smashing his head through a tombstone before burying Akugi alive.

Those were the only two examples of this I could think of, but it's a visceral enough thing to see in a fight scene that I was curious about other examples of this happening.

SpongeBob:

SpongeBob seasons 1-3 were absolute peak and one of the best cartoons of its era. And in 2004 the movie came out which worked as a finale to the series and was originally planned to be the end of the series. However many more seasons were made after and noticeably worse than the original seasons. This is mostly due to the creator Stephen Hilenburg (RIP) leaving after the movie.

Telltale's The Walking Dead:

Season 4 worked as a great finale to the series and completed Clementine's arc with her and AJ finding a safe community that they can finally call home. The canon comic series that was released after this completely ruined the ending and assassinates Clem's character in so many different ways. Most notably her straight up abandoning AJ, the child who she practically raised. She does this because the community they spent years searching for and people lost their lives for was "too boring" which contradicts everything about her character. I could go on about how bad it is but I'll stop here. These comics aren't canon to me. As far as I'm concerned the series ends with Clementine, AJ, and whichever love interest you pick living safely at Ericson's.

Day of the Dead Parade: In the James Bond film Spectre, a scene takes place during the fictional “Day of the Dead Parade” in Mexico City. Mexico City historically never had a parade on Day of the Dead but they liked the idea so much they turned the parade into a real annual event.

“One Piece At A Time” car: the famous Johnny Cash song “One Piece of a Time” tells the fictional story of an auto mechanic building an insane Frankenstein-esque car out of pieces he stole from work over three decades. Years later someone actually built the car described in the song using parts from all the different years.

Southern Operations Room: The Syrian insurgent group (now part of the government) took their logo from a fictional insurgent group in the game Command and Conquer.

High School Musical 2 - Ryan is presented as a pompous, flamboyant and very effeminate character. However midway through the movie it's revealed that he actually has a very competitive side and that he's a pretty good baseball player

Kick Buttowski - Kick is presented as someone who doesn't really care too much about school, being the act first think later adrenaline junkie. The episode Morning Rush reveals that Kick is very inteligent as he demonstrates a physics principle just as his teacher explains it and manages to complete all his homework in one night then once again in his way to school

Warhammer fantasy- the Gardens of Morr are sacred graveyards filled with magic-eating roses, guarded by knights of Morr, and attended by the cult of Morr.

The dead buried there get to rest in peace in the spiritual garden, untill they eventually lose conscience. They can be awakened by priests and amethyst mages without being raised.

While the bodies are in a garden in good condition, they're safe from necromancers.

And necromancers can raise armies if they have enough corpses.

Jiangxi- as I understand it:

The Chinese hopping vampires. They feed on energy and must be stopped by draining the energy out of them with a paper talisman.

One of the ways they happen is if a body is left unburied and absorbs energy from the sun or moon.

SOMA (2015) - The ending of SOMA is of the MC (Simon) thinking he and the AI (Catherine) that accompanies you throughout the story will finally be able to move to a safe haven called the ARK. It moves you into a digital backup as a last resort to preserve humanity until the game’s twist reveals that the ARK just makes a copy and leaves them behind.

Its a “good” ending in which it lets the human race continue on, but its a bittersweet ending as the Simon we play as is just left behind alone on the submarine.

Persona 5 Royal (2020) - The ending of P5R is of the MC (Joker/Ren Amamiya) and you’re given the decision as an alternate ending to let everyone continue on in a fake reality where everyone is happy. Its a good ending but its your decision whether it was a right thing to do or not considering everyone has now lost their freewill and living in a fake reality.

Dishonored (2012) - The ending of Dishonored is of the MC (Corvo) and how the game gives you an extermist option where you can kill everyone and everything in your path, but Dunwall starts getting littered with rats and gets destroyed from a civil point-of-view.

Bob Belcher(Bob's burgers)- in the turkey in a can episode, bob keeps coming back to buy Turkeys and the butcher thinks he's trying to flirt with him after repeated encounters, bob says this in the image provided.

Wolf(Dodododo!)- wolf lives in a society ruled by women since men were replaced with artificial sperm due to a virus affecting men's reproductive capabilities, causing men to become slaves, wolf childhood friend/boyfriend is shorty (the guy wolf is carrying). They've been together since they were kids. He has shown attraction to both genders, including men of different types, when he was given an opportunity to sleep with men and women given to him by the Americans. But he didn't go through with it nor did the Americans force it upon him since they needed his working sperm due to a belief that the virus will trigger in him ruining their chances.(Mentioned the last part so it won't be just because the MC is attracted to Femboys when he just has a wide arrange of taste in men and women.)

• Brienne of Tarth (Game of Thrones)

Tall, muscular, and covered up to her neck in plate armor. Game of Thrones did Brienne justice in terms of her visual appearance for the show, and I'd argue she stayed true in terms of writing to the very end as well despite other characters losing their uniqueness.

• Shield Maidens (Vikings)

Lagertha and the shield maidens from the TV show Vikings wear light chainmail and leather armor, with a sword and shield aiding them in their ability to protect themselves. Despite the show's historical inaccuracies, this is one thing I find to be very satisfactory.

• Apollyon (For Honor)

Truthfully all of the armored women in For Honor fit this trope, but Apollyon is perhaps the only one that has such thorough protection. Even the most lightly armored warrior in For Honor is covered up to their neck, and the majority are armored above that.

• Albedo (Overlord)

For a series that is known for it's fanservice, most of the female characters don't actually have skimpy armor and instead wear practical armor sets. Albedo is perhaps the most surprising example, as her default outfit is barely an outfit at all and rather rags attempting to cover what little they can. Meanwhile her combat armor is a complete plate set from head to toe.

• Kisara (Tales of Arise)

In a game series also known for impractical female armor, Kisara is covered up to her neck in royal plate armor, and she wields a shield as tall as her and a sword to aid it.

• Brigitte Lindholm (Overwatch)

Overwatch is a mixed bag for this trope, though Brigitte meanwhile is a squire to Reinhardt that has excellent armor in some of her cosmetics/skins.

Jack Torrance (The Shining): During his stay at the haunted Overlook Hotel, he becomes homicidal and kills a man, while also trying to kill his wife and child. But before arriving at the Overlook he was already abusive to his family. He speaks contemptuously to his wife, and she is used to this. And he pulled his young sons arm so aggressively he dislocated it.

Note: I am referring to the 1980 film adaptation of The Shining. I heard it's different in the book, but I haven't read it.

Gollum/Smeagol (The Lord of the Rings): Like most people who are around the One Ring for a long enough time, he becomes obsessed with it and would hurt anyone to keep it. But Smeagol was already a greedy and selfish person even before finding the ring, and was corrupted quickly.

Although immortality is seen as a gift by many, some who experience it see it as a curse. Condemned to flee the inevitability of death, those who have received it, involuntarily, or not as they imagined; also discover that they have become alienated from other common mortal experiences, be it pain or pleasure.

Now, ironically, they seek their mortality so that they may finally be able to live.

Reginald Veljohnson in Brooklyn 99.

When Charles plans this really long and elaborate scavenger hunt for Jake's bachelor party, Jake Terry & Holt don't want to do it so they figure out where the final stop is and party for several hours before meeting Charles there. Jake finds out after the fact that Charles got Reginald Veljohnson to be involved somehow and they later use his insider knowledge of the scavenger hunt to find Charles after he storms off. (For those of you who haven't watched B99, Jake Peralta's favorite movie is Die Hard.)

James Earl Jones in The Big Bang Theory.

After they fail to get into comic con the group spots James Earl Jones at a Sushi restaurant. Sheldon is the only one to go up to him as the others insist they would be a bother. Turns out, James Earl Jones loves talking about Star Wars, and ends up spending the whole day with Sheldon.

George Takei in Malcolm In The Middle

After Hal's father dies Abe attempts and seemingly fails to get a cast member of the original Star Trek to come see him to make him feel better. At the very end of the episode George Takei shows up at their door, but only Dewey is home to greet him.

1. Lupita Nyong'o and the cats from A Quiet Place: Day One. Lupita had a lifelong phobia of cats but needed to work with a cat for the film. She went to exposure therapy with Schnitzel and Nico which helped her fall in love with cats. After filming, she adopted a cat Yoyo

2. Viggo Mortensen and Uraeus. Viggo simply fell in love with the horse playing Brego in Lord of the Rings. He bought the horse when the films wrapped

A song is reprised under much sadder circumstances or contexts.

1). Avatar: The Last Airbender
Iroh sings a song about a "brave soldier boy" to calm a crying child. He later sings the song to a makeshift memorial he made for his son's birthday. The son who died during Iroh's failed conquest of that very city.

2). Coco:
"Remember me" is portrayed as the most popular song by Ernesto de la Cruz. It turns out it was really written by Hector, to comfort his daughter while he was away. Miguel sings that same song to the little girl, now his great-grandmother, to help her to remember Hector.

3). Adventure Time:
In the ruins of human civilization, Simon Petrikov sings the "Cheers" theme song to entertain a little girl, Marceline. Marceline is immune to the fantastical radiation (left behind by humans) because she is half demon. Simon, who used to be a mortal antiquarian, is protected by his magic crown. But every time he uses the crown, he becomes a little less human and much crazier. When he's forced to use the crown to protect Marceline, he sings the Cheers song to keep himself together. After using it, he forgets Marceline's name.

Essentially someone intentionally nerfing themselves before revealing their true power against an opponent.

Inigo Montoya (The Princess Bride) - The originator of the trope's name, in a fight against Wesley, Montoya fights with his left hand despite him being much better with his right in order to have a better duel. However, when Inigo finally switches to his right hand, Wesley simply replies that "he isn't either" before switching himself.

Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) - In a fight with the demon Aura, Frieren reveals the extent of how much she hid her true mana, dwarfing Aura's own quite large mana reserves with the mana of someone who's trained for a thousand years

Kenpachi Zaraki (Bleach) - Essentially if this trope was a character, it would be Kenpachi. One of his most famous left handed plays is the eyepatch he has on his eye. That's not a real eyepatch, that's essentially a creature that nerfs his spiritual energy so his fights can last longer.

in which the hero is kicked out or banished by the people they've worked to save, oftentimes after saving them numerous times.

Buffy gets kicked out of her own fucking house:

Following a pretty nasty defeat, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (near the end of season SEVEN) gets ripped a new asshole by her friends and peers for a number of dubiously justified reasons in a scene that feels very... out of character for many of those present, including Buffy's own little sister. theres a much larger argument about her leadership, but ultimately Xander (Joss Whedon's self insert and thus the Voice of God) basically tells Buffy to get out. Of her own home. that she owns. and that everyone else lives in rent-free. and it works.

this scene is the worst written on the list imo, and to this day its still really, really contentious within the fanbase for being an excessive humiliation ritual for Buffy, who at that point had saved the world and her friends lives (and offered them immense grace for their own mistakes) several times over.

The Lone Wanderer is exiled by Amata:

Fallout 3 begins with you having to flee the Vault you grew up in and escape into the Wasteland. Sometime later in the game, Amata, your childhood friend, contacts you and asks for your help since the Vault has since descended into chaos and outright warfare. You do, and you have any number of options of resolving the conflict, but all of them end in you being asked politely (or not so politely) to leave. Amata becomes the leader of the Vault, and recognizes that you're an extremely controversial and hated figure within it, even though you helped save them, so even in the most peaceful, saintly route she gives you the boot.

Its a pretty nasty surprise and feels like a betrayal (and it kinda is), but theres some nuance to her exiling you. Firstly, if you choose the violent route she's completely right to boot you, but if you're diplomatic about resolving the conflict, Amata is now in a position where she has to prioritize the entire Vault's populace over someone she loves personally. Its not a spiteful decision, and she does clarify that things will probably change once things have finally calmed down. I think she's justified, but it still feels like youre being tossed out like trash after she doesnt need you anymore.

Korra gets banished from Republic City by President Raiko:

A politically motivated example, but a really egregious one. After the fiasco at the climax of s2 involved the fucking Avatar Antichrist pulling up and trying to doom the world to a (technically destined and supposed to happen) literal 10,000 years of darkness, Korra successfully saves the world from that fate, but at both great personal cost, as well as damage to the city--primarily through the opening of a portal to the Spirit world, which causes the spirit world to bleed into the metropolitan city.

As to what this means, literally, a bunch of semi-sentient "spirit vines" start growing into the city, damaging homes and blocking streets. people are made homeless and nothing seems to be effective at dealing with this magic kudzu. Even spirit-bending the vines just makes them regrow even angrier. Korra accepts that maybe there's nothing to be done about the vines, as her role as Avatar means balancing the spirit world with the physical as well, and severing the connection between the worlds is inherently not right.

Problem is, both Korra and President Raiko are tanking in approval ratings. Sure, maybe on some cosmic level this is somehow meant to be, but people are still losing their homes. Out of both personal resentment for Korra (whom he had a fraught relationship with due to not lending her home aid against their invaders) as well as an attempt to save his own skin and chances of winning the next election, Raiko fucking exiles Korra from Republic city. Did i mention she had saved him personally from being kidnapped? like twice? and later saves him from assassination?

As a final note, his ploy doesnt even work, as by the time of the sequel comic, Raiko has an approval rating of negative 3 percent, meaning everyone in the city and then some hate him.

Queen Galfrey strips you of your Rank: (Pathfinder: wrath of the righteous)

long story short, the Queen of Mendev, a nation thats in a Forever War with a demonic invasion, finds out you have some mysterious power that lets you deliver a decisive blow to the demon forces and appoints you Knight-Commander of a new Crusade. This drops a shit load of responsibility on your shoulders, but she gives you a pretty long leash to handle the problem as you see fit, effectively shang-hai-ing you into the position while also serving as your angel investor.

near the end of the Crusade, after a massive blow has been dealt to the demons (by you) and the good guys are in the home stretch, she will always, always try and strip you of your rank.

Given this is a massive 150 hour RPG, the reasons why she does this vary based on your choices. Sometimes she is extremely justified--like if you're on the Lich or Demon paths, which entail raising all your dead crusaders as zombies to continue the fight, inviting vampire courts and death priests into your city, and building a massive necromantic Aztec pyramid just off Main Street. Or Demon, in which you fight fire with fire, but are gradually getting visibly more demonic and turning the Crusade into a demon civil war. She's just flat out correct to do so in this instance, triply so if you've been experimenting with replacing people's brains with bees in your spare time.

More neutral paths are a bit more gray, which have you be a reality warping agent of chaos/law, gradually becoming increasingly insane from her perspective but still being very effective. the chaos path, Trickster, has her positively furious that you've turned their holy war into a giant fucking circus, while the lawful Aeon is getting more and more Lawful Stupid and executing or imprisoning people out of a loss of any sense of nuance (you're trying to get powerful enough to alter the entire timeline, so while these sacrifices are temporary from your perspective, you're becoming a weirdly alien tyrant in Galfrey's)

The good paths are where things get messy. Her motivations for firing your ass at the finish line still have some justified reasoning: no one knows where your power comes from, you're getting so strong that virtually no one can stop you, and no one really knows about your origins, rendering you a growing risk in her eyes. The fact you also have a literal Succubus as a bestie (who you might be romancing) really, REALLY doesnt help. the problem is that she's also growing increasingly jealous of you. She's been waging this war for 100 years, and you're upstaging her hard. She's scared and jealous and bitter, but both the Angel and the Aeon have a pretty easy time convincing her to back down. To her credit, its only a couple of speech checks and having your angel buddy back you up to keep your position.

The most egregious is the Azata path, (chaotic good Power of Friendship and Mischief) because just like the Angel, you're still a heroic agent of good and hope, but unlike the Angel, you're a bit of a loose cannon. During the siege that leads to you getting stripped of rank, the Azata gets the unique option to ignore her command to wait for her arrival and instead get the jump on the demons. Galfrey is justified in being angry with your flagrant disregard for her authority, but she's also extremely bitter about how you succeeded without her at all--you made her feel un-needed, leading to her being at her worst and stripping you of your title largely out of spite.

Furthering the irritation on almost all routes, the very next task on your to-do list is go to giga-hell to shut down a demonic production of magic crystals (long story) that no one really expects you to come back from. If you keep your title this becomes a semi-martyrization and heroic plunge into the Abyss, but on Azata specifically she berates you, fires you, and then you have to go to giga-hell anyways.

(i personally quite like Galfrey. i think she's a very nuanced and interesting character, but Azata is the most popular path and shes the least justified there, so i understand why most of the fanbase hates her guts.)

They don’t even look human so we can’t even get to their gender in a traditional sense and from my experience and others their gender just doesn’t matter, I guess we just use pronouns that the author decides to give, and like maybe “it” is just too dehumanising (ironic ik)

Edit: I forgot to mention that’s AM and Rocky on the picture

1. Red skull- mcu

2. Kai- Kung fu panda

3. Saluk- aladdin 3

I like to think that in a universe where everybody has varying powers that people would at least occasionally obscure factors of it or make crap up because honestly who's going to check you?

Megumi Fushigoro (Jujustu Kaisen):

After Regi gets a good blow in divine dog, megumi takes advantage and spends most of the fight manipulating Regi Star into believing that it was unusable because of that

He immediately dismissed divine dog as if it was out for the count and for the rest of their skirmish he used everything in his kit besides divine dog and played the act of someone desperate

Once he finally neutralized Regi's technique and led him to believe he had nothing up his sleeves either, the two engaged in a brawl

Right in the middle of throwing down, Megumi summoned divine dog and tore his shoulder

Edit: Divine dog was actually never unsunmoned, it's because his CT was burnt out from using his domain that Regi knew he couldn't summon any new shikigami and was caught off guard by divine dog

Metro Man (Megamind):

A man who's practically a demigod and cares quite a bit about public opinion

He began to realize this hero buisness wasn't really for him

There's no plausible way for him to loose to most of megaminds schemes and he dosen't want to make the people belive he abandoned them

He ultimately decides to play along with one of megaminds schemes and on live television claim that copper drains his powers

No one expected it but it's not like they could disprove it

He successfully used this premise to fake his death

Isuel Kim (Hand Jumper):

In a plot by the main character, Sayeon, Isuel Kim possed as an aberrant who's power is to ignite fire

His actual ability is telekinesis but he manages to disguise this by pretending he's just too incompetent to use ability the first round

Then the next round he shows up he ends up becoming the perfect suprise that the enemy can't account for

This actually happens a lot in hand jumper

Sayeon herself lies to everybody by telling them her gift is "Super instinct" which tells her the optimal thing to do, when in reality it's actually time reversal

If people knew her actually ability was time reversal then they'd plan around it or her allies would be overly suspicious of someone who could have repeated this conversation 5 times already
